![Corey Heim takes the checkered flag to win the UNOH 200 presented by Ohio Logistics Thursday night at Bristol Motor Speedway\n\n\nCorey Heim celebrates in Bristol\'s elevated Victory Lane Thursday after winning the UNOH 200 presented by Ohio Logistics.\n\n\nCorey Heim (11) pulled off a late race pass on leader Christian Eckes (19) to win Thursday night\'s UNOH 200 presented by Ohio Logistics at Bristol Motor Speedway.\n\nCorey Heim moved one step closer to a championship title with a victory in the UNOH 200 presented by Ohio Logistics NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoff race on Thursday at Bristol Motor Speedway.\n\nHeim, driving the No. 11 Toyota for TriCon Garage, opened up the playoffs’ Round of 8 by weaving his way through lapped traffic and, on Lap 194, perfectly timing a pass of runner-up Christian Eckes, who had dominated throughout, including winning Stages 1 and 2.\n\n“This is insane,” said Heim, who led the race’s final six laps and registered his 13th straight top-10 finish after beating Eckes to the checkered flag by .218 seconds. “I feel like I’ve given so many away this year. To win like that is unreal. We finally got one back.”\n\nEckes was followed by fellow championship contenders Grant Enfinger in third and Carson Hocevar in fourth while rookie Taylor Gray placed fifth.\n\n“We got really tight at the end,” said Eckes, who led a race-high 150 laps. “That one stinks for sure. We’ve got to move on and go on.”\n\nHeim, the Truck Series’ regular season champion, was near the front throughout but couldn’t reach the top spot until the final pass for the lead.\n\n“I was in the zone,” Heim said. “I just focused forward. I’m out of breath, but to going to Phoenix [as a championship contender] is awesome.”\n\nHeim averaged 84.047 mph around the .533-mile concrete oval at The Last Great Colosseum, completing the 200 laps in 1 hour, 16 minutes and 6 seconds. Four caution periods took up 33 laps.\n\nAmong other playoff contenders, Ben Rhodes finished seventh, defending race champion](https://www.bristolmotorspeedway.com/video/youtube/098BB8F9-F3A6-BECE-309B56D9CBDF38B5_320x320.jpg)
![William Sawalich (18) passed race long leader Jesse Love (20) for the lead in the Bush\'s Beans 200 with 10 to go and held on to take the victory.\n\n\nWilliam Sawalich celebrated his ARCA Menards Series victory in the Bush\'s Beans 200 in the iconic rooftop Victory Lane at Bristol Motor Speedway Thursday night.\n\nIt was just one race but it was twice as nice for William Sawalich in the Bush’s Beans 200 ARCA Menards Series race on Thursday at Bristol Motor Speedway.\n\nNot only did the 16-year-old from Eden Prairie, Minn., take the checkered flag after a late-race pass on series leader Jesse Love, but the event also served as the final race of the ARCA Menards Series East season, with Sawalich clinching the ARCA East season title before the race’s halfway point.\n\n“That’s really awesome,” said Sawalich after celebrating with a burnout on the frontstretch of The Last Great Colosseum. “We worked all year to get to this point. This Joe Gibbs Racing team has been awesome. We’ve been fast everywhere we went.”\n\nSawalich, driving the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, led just 10 laps overall but that total included the final eight of the race after he nudged past Love on the backstretch of Lap 192 following the race’s final restart.\n\n“I didn’t know if I could get [by Love] but that last caution helped us,” Sawalich said.\n\n“It obviously sucks to lead that much and come up short,” said Love who led more than 160 laps in the No. 20 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports. “I think the pass was fine. It was going for the win at Bristol. The track rubbered up a lot and lost a lot of rear grip.\n\n“I’m glad Toyota won the ARCA East championship. We’ll keep on driving the lights out.”\n\nLove held on for second, with Andres Perez placing third, Jake Finch finishing fourth and Greg Van Alst taking fifth. Eleven drivers finished on the lead lap.\n\nWith the right breaks, Luke Fenhaus had his own chance to claim the ARCA Menards Series East title, but early incidents ended his race after completing j](https://www.bristolmotorspeedway.com/video/youtube/098729E8-B2FE-2716-8D0D80844BE873DA_320x320.jpg)
